Aims of Germany and Japan

seemed determined to preserve peace, but Germany and Japan held a shared

goal of world domination. In two memorandums about the plans of Germany

and Japan, U.S. officials make the position that the United States should take

plain: mobilize and be ready for war, but do not provoke it. In other words,

“Speak softly but carry a big stick.” Although Germany and Ja

. . .
pan had a few

similar goals and ideas, they differed on other issues of subject peoples and races. They intended to annihilate the Jews and breed out the Slavic

people. For Germany, it was a matter of

national pride. They began their

conquests in the early- to mid-1930s, Japan with Manchuria in 1931 and Germany

with the Rhineland in 1936. These occupations would eventually lead to WWII. The memorandum concerning Japan does not give evidence of

xenophobia in Japan, but neither does it imply that the Japanese were

completely tolerant of other races. All peoples other than “Aryans” were

persecuted.

Germany and Japan also wanted to control trade and have a political

influence in the countries that surrounded them. They wanted to show that Germany was still a great state after

their humiliating defeat in WWI.

Both Germany and Japan had plans to rule the world.

Germany was intensely xenophobic. The German government not only gave permission, they persuaded

the German people to support their hunger for territory.

Germany and Japan had many similarities in their foreign policies. There was no tinge of revenge to the

Japanese conquests.
